The third installment in the Payday series, it is both the series' first spin-off, the first Payday game not developed by Overkill, and the first Payday game for mobile devices, being exclusive for Android and iOS. We'll have to see if it makes a dent in the game's player count when it finally releases on September 21 this year. PAYDAY 3 - Pre-Purchase OfferAbout the GamePAYDAY 3 is the much anticipated sequel to one of the most popular co-op shooters ever. PAYDAY: Crime War is a co-operative first-person shooter action game for iOS and Android devices. The heists here are meant to be mastered, rewarding teams who can plot and execute. That's honestly about as positive a reaction as you can find among Payday players, at least as far I can see. Payday 3’s missions beg to be replayed, pulling some immersive sim levers that call games like Hitman to mind. Of course, they also promised to "ream out" if the servers do buckle. A player named Keohane said that, so long as Starbreeze's servers can handle the load "it'll add portability to save files, cut down on hackers and cheating, and ensure they have good telemetry on what players keep coming back to and what didn't work, all of which I'm more than fine with". Still, there were some users who welcomed the news, although almost always with some trepidation. Payday 3 is emerging into a whole new market, one that has proven unfriendly to service titles. It's, uh, not especially likely that Starbreeze will end up defunct over this, but the comment speaks to a real concern among members of the Payday community. A new locale, engine and some revamped features won’t make it a hit right out the gate, though. "PD2 will live forever cuz of mods," said user ShrekDamage, but "PD3 will live for a few months until Starbreeze goes out of business for how badly they’re screwing over this game". Others fear that this means the total death of the Payday modding scene. Some are just worried about their dodgy internet connections, and what will happen when their broadband gives out mid-match. Even a player who said they understood Starbreeze's reasoning-a Reddit user by the name of Buncarski-worried about "what happens when the game reaches the end of its support? Does everyone lose access to everything? Will heists be hosted like in Payday 2 or on dedicated servers?" "I think 'always online' is like one of the worst features you can have for a game," said a top-voted comment from a fan called Nooby_Chris on the Payday subreddit.
